Usually that happens when you put the wax on too thick. Spray it with something like Meguiars Quik Detailer, let it sit for a few moments to soften it up and then wipe. You can find that at just about any auto parts store. Resist the urge to wipe hard as that is just going to cause swirls.

I would wash the MF towels by themselves. Wash them on hot, and run them through a second wash with no soap (At least that's what I do, to make sure to get the soap residue out).

the new meguiars NXT is really simple to put on and wipe off. I had that residue problem u are talking about...almost impossible with NXT.
